How the largest US pension fund uses its financial power to influence corporate ESG performance

How the largest US pension fund uses its financial power to influence corporate ESG performance

In 2022, the ESG Insider podcast is bringing you a series of interviews with some of the world's largest asset managers, owners and financial institutions. In this episode, we hear from the largest pension fund in the U.S. — the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or CalPERS.

We speak to Simiso Nzima, managing investment director of global equity at CalPERS. The conversation focused on five vital sustainability topics — executive pay and its link to ESG performance; board diversity; climate risk; the lack of standardization in ESG metrics; the SEC's new proposal on climate-related disclosures; and finally, the debate about divestment versus engagement.
